I'd respect it more if he just came out and said 'yeah I was pretty pissed about being omitted because I'm super competitive and want to be out there playing AFL each week for my team'.

From the school of 'had an unfamiliar drink and went out the wrong door'.

Yeah after last week I don't think Josh is currently allowed to say anything that the Club didn't write for him

Lever a late out. NDaicos running free. Goodwin understanding the assignment

Barracking for the mighty saints this weekend.

So how is ‘Pickett should get off because Moore should have attacked the footy in a safer, more reasonable fashion’ different from ‘Wright should get off because Cunningham should have attempted to mark the ball in a different, more reasonable fashion’?

the club is tarred and feathered, simple as

Melky might be considering it, how is his contract situation ?

No. Us knocking out the Hawks in 2009 and making the finals with 10 wins and a draw was a better premiership defence

The velvet sledgehammer literally knocking out sewell

Best Premiership defence EVER

Napoli won the Scudetto in a canter in 2022/2023, with 90 points and more than a month to spare, only to have their mad (genius) owner fall out with the coach, resulting in 3 coaches in 2023/2024, 10th place with 53 points, which was 41 points off top spot.

At least with Hawthorn and Collingwood you know that the players lost the rage because it was likely down to legendary partying.

 

[mike14]

Apparently most of the support staff and cheer squads for Nth v Hawks didn't make it ro the ground on time (source is mate who was a plane with them that got turned around and sent back to Melbourne)

We're expecting one of those early-90s cricket scores from Geelong starting in 10, aren't we?

I don't see why. WC are actually a good team. that's why we struggled to defeat them. Yeo is playing. He's really good.

Well Hawthorn are certainly heading there

 

[JayJ20]

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Hawthorn are genuine contenders.

They'll likely finish 6 or 7 to play Bulldogs at the MCG. They can win that. Then they'll play the loser of GWS vs Port away. Should have beaten both away if not for a 4th quarter choke. They'll be a good chance. Then they play the winner of Sydney vs Geelong. That'll be challenging given their recent record against both sides, but with the belief they are playing with, I'll give them a good chance, especially if they play Geelong in the prelim.

Make the grand final and they can beat anyone.

It better not be a Hawthorn premiership.

Geelong smashed them only a few weeks ago, they will get taken seriously in finals, i think it will be a one and done for them

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Hawthorn certainly playing 'nothing to lose' football, which normally gets found out in finals (but I could very well be wrong). In any case, they've had a very good year.

By a few weeks ago you mean almost 2 months ago at KP. Perhaps Geelong will be shaking in their boots playing Carlton because they lost by 60 points 2 month ago. Or maybe Geelong are lucky they aren't playing GC because they lost by 60 2 months ago.

 

[raskolnikov]

Nice of West Coast to give Geelong a practice run before the finals.

Geelong might struggle coming off a double bye into the finals.
